[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fQuCB4l9E[/youtube]

JConcepts introduce the new Hi-Flow Short Course body shell for most of today’s 1/10 scale SC trucks. The design goal of the body, that is introduced in time for this week’s 2011 ROAR electric off-road nationals, was to eliminate the so called parachute effect often associated with SC trucks. With big air escape areas that are easily cut out using an x-acto knife and newly designed number and name panel on the sides the body provides the best possible jumping characteristics and straight-line ability.

Team Losi Racing 22T stadium truck

Following closely on the heels of the 22 Buggy Kit, the 22T Truck Kit will posses the same unique design of the 22 allowing it to be the first truck in the industry to include both a rear and mid motor completion option in the same kit. Having both of these options opens up the potential for the 22T because different parts of the country benefit from different chassis configurations, varying tracks styles and layouts as well as indoor vs. outdoor tracks. The 22 and 22T share a majority of the same parts with about only 15% of the total parts listing being new. The hard anodised aluminium chassis, stadium truck-length 12mm big bore shocks, adjustable front kick, oversized rear outer bearing, bolt-on camber blocks are just a few of the features that make the 22T different from the 22 buggy as well as a force to be reckoned with in 1/10-scale 2WD truck racing. Like the 22 buggy the 22T is packed full of innovation and expert TLR engineering.
